Law points to several Red Sox prospects, like third baseman Rafael Devers and second baseman Yoan Moncada, as players who have "at least a fighting chance to become well-above-average regulars or more".

Law also suggests Triple-A players Jackie Bradley Jr., Deven Marrero and Garin Cecchini would be on major league rosters of many other teams if not for the logjam in Boston.

With the trade deadline approaching, it remains to be seen whether the Red Sox are willing to part ways with some of their minor league assets to bolster the major league squad, or if stockpiling prospects for the future is the preferred plan.
